No, the Germans did not deploy anything to DS, but they did loan the USMC
several Fox NBC vehicles. Tamiya doesn't necessarily list only vehicles that
took part in DS in the instructions. Usually they include kits of like time
frame e.g. modern with modern kits, WWII German, WWII US, etc...The Italeri
kit you mention in your other post is an Israeli vehicle, not USMC. Israel
uses a different type of blazer than the US, amonst other differences. The
only kits that I know of are the Academy kit, and the Tamiya M60A1 which is
a DS vehicle. RISE stands for reliability improvement of selected equipment.
Can't help you with the Challenger, but it is likely that the DS MK3 parts
are on a separate sprue that you can order from Tamiya separately.
